an American schooner. Challenge. Of 80 tons, from
Seattle, and the British steam schooner Annie
Beck, hailing from Victoria. Both seizures were
made by the United States revenue cutter
Richard Rush, and the vessels and crews were
sent on to Sitka. The Challenge was taken
July 1 in EkestOn, Onekston Islands, when
Overhauled by The Rush. No seals were to be
seen, but there was blood on deck, and other
evidences that the crew had been engaged in seal
ing. The Rush took charge OF her, in spite of the
protest OF the captain. who urged that every skin
that he had was obtained in the open waters Of
the Pacific The rush took the prizes to Oun-
alaska. Two days later the Annie Peck was seized
near st. George, which is not far from OunalaSkO.
AS in the case or the Challenge there was
blood on deck, and the crew appeared as II they
had been hard at it. Her captain sent up pro-
test, and threatened to seek redress from the
British government He was likewise sent OF to
Sitka, where he as weIl as the American captain
will be tried. When the Dora departed from
Ounalaska there was fleet OF twenty sealers

The Investigating Committee Get

Some Information At Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE, w. T., July l9.-The Pacific Railroad
Investigating Commission had a public session
here yesterday. number OF witnesses were ex-
amined, among them being Francis f. Warren,
ex-governor OF the territory; c. W. Riner, may
or Cheyenne; E. A Slack, editor OF the Cheyenne
San; Nathaniel K Davis, ranchman and banker
, In Cheyenne; Geo. A. Draper, Marshal Smith.
Erastus Nagle, and Chas. Pollen merchants: Fred.
s. Hebard, lawyer, and Alex. Ii. Reel, a stock
raiser. Each witness was examined as TO the
facilities furnished to the community OF Chey-
enne by the Union Pacific road. EX-Gov. Warren,
| in reply to questions by the Commissioners.
taken no part in the politics OF the Territory.
He explained the position which Cheyenne has
| heretofore held as distributing center for the
business OF the Territory. and urged the building
OF a branch line by the Union Pacific in order
that Cheyenne may continue TO hold the business
| naturally tributary TO 1t. He claimed that the
extension OF the Burlington and Missouri and Of
the Chicago and Northwestern roads into Wy
oming would have the effect OF tapping the ter
ritOry naturally tributary to the Union Pacific.
and would deprive that road and Cheynne City OF
part OF their present business.
In reply to question by Gov. PattIson as to
why the United States Government should assist
the Union Pacific to build branches more than 1t
should assist other roads to do So the witness said
tnat the Government should only assist the Union
Pacific 70 the extent that II, the Government
would be assisting itself. The Union Pacific should
be held to strict accountability for It's debt, but
In the case OF any other debtor, should be as
sisted by its creditor into position where it could
pay.
The other witnesses cOrrObOrated the testimony
of Gov. Warren as to the commercial position OF
Cheyenne, and the necessity for feeders for the
Union Pacific throughout Wyoming In order that
Cheyenne might retain and develop its character
as a distributing point for the Territory Each
witness was examined as to rebates and discrimi-
nations in his line OF business, and thc stock men
as to the facilities offered by the stock yards at
Cheyenne, from which it appeared that X. s. Van
TaSsel has monopoly or the stock-yard business
In Cheyenne. 1t also appeared that the Union
Pacific controls The sales OF Rock Springs coal at
Cheyenne being the owner OF the Rock Springs
coal mines.
Mr.. Heberds testimony was to the effect that
while clerk in the Union Pacific Office in Chey-
enne between 1879 ana 1881 coal was billed by the
company to individuals AT $3.50 per ton from Rock
Springs TO Cheyenne, while TO the Government it
was billed at $500 from Rock Springs TO Camp
Carlin. short distance from Cheyenne. On being
examined by commissioner Littler as 10 the reason
for this difference the witness Was unable 10 ac-
count for IL.
After three-hourS' session the Commission left
for Ogden, expecting TO stop for short session at
Laramie.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July l9.-The coercion bill having been
passed by the lords last night will be law in
rev hours. The great question as TO what the
government will do with their weapon will soon
be settled. 1t may be Interesting hereafter 10 re-
member that the last words spoken in parliament
on the subject were SalisburyS concluding ones,
I'VE trust To God for the issues" IL is confidently
believed that the remaining evictions on the
Brooks estate at Cool-Greeny, County Wexford,
have been abandoned. have Just returned from
flying visit there, and the magistrate assured me
yesterday morning that this was the case. II so.
the result is due to two factors: first the deter
mination OF the tenants 10 resist In future TO
the utmost of their strength, and the knowl-
euge that several houses We're garriSoned
by score OF determined men. Second TO the
pressure brought by the government through the
magistrate TO bear on the landlords I'm conse-
quence OF the publicity and therefore scandal at
tacnlng 10 such scenes. L WAS present al light
ferocity In my life The tenants Were armed with
oak wheel spokes, which are terrible weapons.
Inc two Byrnes kept all the emergency men at
Day 1or ten minutes, and nearly killed three OF
them. When the fight was over, and the wounded
on both sides had been dressed In the yard, the
space In front OF the house looked like shamble.
Newspapers here have made good deal out vi the
discussion OF the mlSundei eiStanuing between John
Dillon and Dayitt; What has occurred has been
much exaggerated and admits OF simple eXpiana-
ton. DayItt came to Arklow on Friday, and
said there was particularly offensive exhibition
OF cowardlce on the part OF sone or the tenants
forgetting that previously stout resistance had
Oeen offered. He spoke at a meeting which fol-
lowed OF the conduct OF the whole tenantry instead
or limiting himself to those he mad seen. Jno.

upon 10 defend his constituents but uid with
so much tact that not the slightest i-feeling was
provoked. Davltt had gone on TO add that when
Parneu dlSapproyed or any action he might take
ne would cease IL at once, but that he wouldI not
be lectured by Dublin officials. THIS was under
STOOD, rightly or wrongly, 10 refer 10 speech
made by harrington while Davitt was at Bodyke.
AS Hartingtons Official position at the National
League prevents him from replying personally,
Dillon considered that he Is responsible for the
plan OF the campaign he must defend Harrington.
de, too, spoke without giving ofense. DayiuI and
Dillon are both on the best or terms personally,
my certain knowledge. as l Travelled from Arklow
| In company with them both yesterday. Dayltts
speech no doubt, had much TO do in infuSng fresh
courage into the people. DilloDs plan OF caInpaig
has been so FAR pre-emlnently successful Every
body Is eXonerated; every body has expressed his
views on the subject and the Incident Is at end,
leaving no unpleasant consequences OF any kind.
